Year 11 Drama students had a fantastic time at the very first show of the Theatre Royal’s Aladdin. Students were able to enjoy the show and see their learning come to life. For their GCSE students study the traditional British genre of pantomime, watching the show they were able to see the devices used to make it a truely unique form of theatre.
All of the students had a great time and really enjoyed the show.
Students Helen and her younger brother Arthur are raising money for the sixth year in a row in support of the RNLI.
The are doing a “musical advent calendar” (posting a video of them playing a Christmas song each day). The duo have already raised in excess of £13000 over the past few years and aim to raise another £2000 this year.
To support Helen and Arthur you can follow and donate, if you can, across a number of channels:

We are the delegation representing Nigeria, a country in West Africa.
Nigeria is one of the emerging nations on this planet, and we are the largest African economy. Climate change has an extremely heavy impact on us, as drought and desertification increases in the north, and major flooding worsens in the south. We
also have prolonged heatwaves, with temperatures sometimes exceeding 40 degrees. This is of course having a tremendous impact on us, with our agriculture, livestock and quality of lives heavily affected.Currently, we are determined to reach Net Zero by 2060, and we aim to be 47% below ‘Business As Usual’ by 2030 (provided we have international support). Following 2030, we are committed to shifting towards renewable energy.Already we have been extending areas of conservation, and in our megacity Lagos, we have a $40 billion dollar railway expansion, reducing carbon emissions and improving public transport. We are also a part of the African Union's ‘Great Green Wall’, where we combat desertification. To do more for our country, and this planet, financial support from other, wealthy countries is critical in our collective fight against climate change.Although it may seem like we are behind other countries, we are as determined as we could possibly be. We must focus on opportunity, and our potential to make planet Earth a better place.Thank you.
Year 13 students visit the Theatre Royal to see Dear England as part of their A Level Theatre and Drama course. The group thoroughly enjoyed their performance.

Our Yesr 10 King’s Trust classes had a great day at the Full circle Food Project as part of their Community Impact module.
The students had a great day and really challenged themselves to try new things and learn new skills.
Our Senior Students organised an end of term talent show where our staff entertained students to raise money for MacMillan Nurses.
Showcasing their talents were:
Our Year 9 Councillors have been a particularly active group this year, organising charity events and contributing to the school community; embracing their role as advocates and custodians of King Edward’s. With that in mind and supporting the values of Cheviot Learning Trust the Y9 Council, supported by our Senior Students, took part in an activity filled day of citizen science, learning about what we can do locally to improve our environment. This event was supported by NCC, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, and Morpeth Lions, as well as KEVI staff and past students!
Well done to the PE Department who have, again been recognised for their hard work and dedication. The team have such a passion for Sport and its many benefits, and have continued this year to create so many opportunities and experiences for our students.
Sportsmark Gold Status for 2024-2025 it the fourth year that King Edward’s PE Department have been recognised; not only for the breadth and sheer number opportunities but the truley inclusive nature of PE at KEVI and the amount of students who participate in enriching and extra curricular Sport.
The team are aiming for Platimum in 2026 when even more students can get involved with our improved facilities. Congratulations to all of the staff and students that contributed to this achievment – you really make us proud!
Enrichmnet Week 2025 saw another artistic conservation collaboration with local artist Jane Lee McCracken and Drawing for the Planet. This is the third time students have worked with Jane following marine projects in Laguna Beach and tiger conservation in Asia. This time, students worked with Jane on a project linked to conservation in the Amazon Rainforest.
The project features drawings of Amazonian wildlife created by our talented Year 9 students. They look stunning! https://drawingfortheplanet.org/pages/brazilian-and-peruvian-amazonian-wildlife
